Training in Our Models
In addition to general consultation, we also offer specific training on our evidence-informed models: Relational Equine-Partnered Counseling (REPC) and Equine-Partnered Play Therapy (EPPT). We can provide training for both mental health professionals and equine specialists.
We are proud to have had both of our models featured in internationally-renowned expert in animal assisted therapy, Dr. Cynthia Chandler's, textbook, Animal Assisted Therapy in Counseling. The EPPT model will also be featured in Dr. Kay Trotter's newest edition of Harnessing the Power of Equine Assisted Counseling due to be out in 2018. Finally, both models will be featured heavily in Dr. Sheade's upcoming equine assisted counseling textbook to be published by Routledge.
